1/14/2020

January 14
(57) You are my portion, O LORD; I have said that I would keep Your words. (58) I entreated Your favor with my whole heart; Be merciful to me according to Your word. (59) I thought about my ways, And turned my feet to Your testimonies. (60) I made haste, and did not delay To keep Your commandments.
Enero 14 Salmo 119:57-60
“Mi porción es Jehová; He dicho que guardaré tus palabras. Tu presencia supliqué de todo corazón; Ten misericordia de mí según tu palabra. Consideré mis caminos, Y volví mis pies a tus testimonios. Me apresuré y no me retardé En guardar tus mandamientos.”

Heth
Verses 57-60

This is a place we come when we are renewing our mind with the word of God and we are being changed. Rom. 12:2 ' .....be transformed by the renewing of your mind.....' At this point we can say with confidence that the Lord is our potion ( provision, supplier, provider, replenisher, helper...)
We can now, even promise with confidence in him to keep his words. We can entreat, sought, request, beseech and ask for his favor with all of our heart because we know what he has promised.
At this point we allow God to help us see how we are and show us how he wants us to be. We consider our ways. We are ready to turn quickly to keep his commandments.

Thank you Lord that you are helping us to come to this place of dependency on you alone. 🙏

The next two days are under the letter CHET (some translations say Heth. It looks like a doorway with 2 doorposts and a lintel on top. When the first Passover was celebrated, God told Moses to tell the people to put the blood of an unblemished lamb on the doorposts and lintel of their homes. This would be sign to the death angel to pass over their house, and permit the people to LIVE. (Exodus 12: 21-23) A CHET is a sign of LIFE!

This passage of verses starts with a wonderful declaration that GOD IS OUR PORTION. The word PORTION starts with a CHET. We get that portion by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the fulfilment of Passover. Jesus offered His blood to be shed so He would be the perfect sacrifice and atonement for our sins. We are now spiritual sons and daughters of God, all because of Jesus’ sacrifice! Our PORTION is we become sons and daughters of God Almighty. Jesus did the work on the cross to make a way for us to have ABUNDANT LIFE. Psalm 119 has made it abundantly clear that our responsibility is to walk daily in faith and obedience to God’s Word.

The words LIFE, GRACE, and REST are all closely related, and they all contain the letter CHET. By God’s GRACE we receive the gift of eternal LIFE and are invited to enter into His REST. God has also given us the privilege as sons and daughters to ENTREAT His favor. The word ENTREAT means to ask for something earnestly with humility and urgency! That’s PRAYER!

Do we use our privilege as sons and daughters, and come before God in prayer for everything?
